Even more simple solution IF both rotors are compatible or the same.

of a 6 or 8 pole( what ever you need ) , 2 position Centralab rotary
switch.  

Then wire the wires FROM the rotor to switch positions 1 and 2.

Switching rotors is then merely a matter of selecting which you want.

I control 4 separate Tailtwisters on 4 different towers this way.
( and wiring that switch was a BITCH )
